Question

A body is acted upon by two unequal forces in opposite directions, but not in same line, The effect is that :

(a) the body will have only the rotational motion

(b) the body will have only the translational motion

(c) the body will have neither the rotational motion nor the translational motion

(d) the body will have rotational as well as translational motion.

Answer 1

As the forces are unequal and opposite, there will be a translational motion. Also, as the forces are not in the same line, there will be a moment of force which will cause rotational motion also.
So, the correct choice is (d).
